Island Of Yours - Social Repose Fanfic-

What's In A Name

Social Repose approached the throne of his new foe and bowed.
Indigo scrunched her eye brows together and although he couldn't see it social repose knew it was there.
"May I have this dance?" social reposes jaw clenched. Now he did realize this was the dance he didn't have to do and he should be slightly nicer but this was still Indigo his newest rival.
Indigo could here her mothers voice in her head saying that you should never turn down a dance for a noble man let alone a prince.
Sighing to herself she took his hand and he led them out to the dance floor. The song that played was a form of waltz that was much more complex than the last song she danced too.
"Luka tells me i should get to know you before our little spat this morning turns into war." Social Repose said following movements in complete normality.
"War is such an over used word. I prefer three dimensional chest." said Indigo
Social repose snorted and responded "War is war darling much like a rose by any other name is still a rose." he quoted.
"So you're familiar with the play write from England?" indigo was surprised by his knowledge of any art besided ass hatedry.
"I make it habit to learn all art forms in order to properly know what I'm doing everywhere." social repose explained.
"What a habbit to have. If i had an option of being anyone but myself i would like to think i would like to do such." indigo played nice with diplomats before, she could do it here as well.
"I would like to believe everyone would." he said and the air was filled with a less angry silence.
After the dance both stood there in the spot they had danced in awkward stares. Mostly caused by the fact that as far as Social Repose knew he was staring at her nose
"I know it might seem out of the norm here but would you like to take a walk with me, i do know how tiring it can be to dance with people who can't." social repose went out on a limb he didn't really know why he was doing so.
"Honestly I'd rather not but the thought of dancing with one more sir charles ever again make me sick." indigo said counting up the many men who danced with her in the passed.
Social Repose snorted once again and holding out his arm as he led the pair to the balcony hall.
"It's a beautiful night." commented social repose.
Indigo with all her fine knowledge of social affairs said quite bluntly "I don't feel remorse for this morning if that is what you wish from me."
Social Repose wondered if this girl knew anything about small talk. "I was told by a bird that names have far deeper meaning than what lies on the surface. So i wish to know the story of yours then i will tell you mine then perhaps remorse will follow." he stepped lightly around the subject.
Indigo was skeptical. "Why should I?"
"You were the one that asked what is a name like social repose. As you should know by now, all answers come at a price." he responded.
"Alright. Twenty two years ago on the 17th of June a princess was born without life. Her soul had never set in to her body. In mourning the king and queen and not living baby went down to the waters edge." indigo looked over the railing at the bay "there they let a candle boat float away. Suddenly what seemed out of no where a mermaid poked her head out of the water and looked at the baby. With out asking or saying anything the mermaid took the child and laid her in the water. Souls to mermaids are like coins to us. So the mermaid tossed her last soul into the child. She began to scream and whale like a new born should. Just before the mermaid passed she let out a single word Indigo. Which became the childs name in tribute." Indigo finished her story and patiently waited for social repose to tell his.
Social Repose on the other hand was still soaking up the fact that the girl in front of him was by all human facts dead "well um, long ago in my kingdom there was an unrest between the native tribes and the other people. In an attempt to keep peace with the tribes my father let the cheif rename his first born. Me. The cheif named me social repose. That never changed what my family called me until my mother died in child birth of a princess. The care giver for her was an extremist for the native tribes and she slit the princesses throat." social repose took a moment to breathe. He was still angry and hurt that someone would kill a baby who was to innocent to know anything. "It caused an unrest between the native tribes and the other people. Soon the chief came to court to fix all wrongs. His was of fixing worked but left us all scarred for life. He gave me his head dress and my father the necklace of peace and then right there lit himself on fire. His last words were my name."
A moment of intense silence passed and indigo feeling rather uncomfortable said "What a stain left on the foya." a beat later "I'm sorry that was insensitive of me. I was getting rather uncomfortable from the intensity."
"Well then i must be insensitive for thinking it amusing but in return i must say what i thought funny. It seems dying princesses are a theme in the relems." social repose said with a sort of smile.
Indigo giggled. It was a foreign sound to her ears and it startled her. Social Repose on the other hand found it charming. "I suppose we can find comfort in the insensitivity of our sense of humor." said social repose.
"Insensitive or brilliantly morbid?" indigo replied. A small smile played her lips.
"I believe it is both rather wrong and beautifully dark." social repose said.
Indigo smiled to herself. It was an odd feeling of contentment. "Shall we go back inside? I do believe our families will be wondering where we have been for the past three songs." indigo said softly.
"I don't believe you want to go back in there. I don't want terrible dance partners and a seventeen year old prince who thinks he's funny talking to me all night." social repose said in response.
"Then it is decided i will be your dance partner and convetsationalist all night and neither of us shall suffer." indigo said with a smirk.
And so social repose held out his arm to lead the two of them back into the room filled with people.
